So I just picked up a 91 to swap all my new part from my totaled one. I thought it would be easy fix in engine but now having trouble sourcing some seals. The engine has no oil pressure at the gauge and also at sending unit port. I haven't verified myself but the guy I bought it from said he hooked a mechanical gauge to it and started it, got no reading on guage but dumped about a quart or so of oil out of top rear drivers side of engine. I have a strong suspicion it is the oil pump drive unit or synchronizer I just can't find the o-ring seal for it. Also was wondering if there was anywhere else it would gush that much oil on the engine. I have another engine I can swap into it but was gonna rebuild it first and just get the new onw running. Any thoughts or info on picking up a replacement o-ring would be appreciated.
